Creamy lentil soup with smoked eel

Freshly smoked eel is a delicacy that makes me remember many fun weekends I spent camping with friends during my school and university time. Once a year, I used to take of with a group of friends to a small campground in “Polle an der Weser” for a couple of convivial days with lots of BBQ, lots and lots of beer… and freshly smoked eel which we bought from a fisherman’s booth at the entrance of the campsite.

Now in Denmark, I’m at the source once again, and I must admit I have a hard time walking past a fresh, smoked eel when I see it at the fishmonger. I recently bought one for a big brunch – nothing better than a slice of fresh bread with butter, scrambled egg and smoked eel… yum! I had a good piece eel left over and started looking for ideas what other dish to make with it and stumbled over a recipe for lentil soup with smoked eel. Seemed like the right recipe for these cold winter days… and it was a good one.
